Coimbatore , April 8

THE National Egg Co-ordination Committee (NECC) has asked the Oomen Chandy Government to remove, what it calls, the "anomalous" tax.

The Chairman of the NECC's Namakkal poultry zone, Dr P. Selvaraj, said in a statement that the introduction of the 12.5 per cent VAT by the Kerala Government had affected the broiler and cull bird trade in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. This has put severe price pressure on the poultry growers as well as the trade.

Unlike in the past when there was an 8 per cent entry tax levied on broilers brought into Kerala from Tamil Nadu, now the Kerala Government had imposed a 12.5 per cent VAT on both birds purchased from Tamil Nadu or grown in Kerala.
